Guinea -> Guinea Bissau
Cost has changed since last posts here. He asked for 150,000 Guinea Franc (now about $17.50) for me and the motorcycle. I didn’t have anywhere close to that and he walked away. We eventually settled on 30,000 Guinea franc, $7 and an orange, but he wasn’t happy about it.

A little bit after you get to the other side, there’s a corrupt checkpoint asking for 50,000 Guinea Franc, saying something about a ferry levee. I showed that I had nothing in my wallet, and I had run out of oranges, but they eventually let me go without paying.

Same experience! Super friendly locals. Asked for 5000CFA so I haven’t discussed. On the other side one guy tried to get more but with a couple of jokes and making a bit of fun of his interfering with my business with the pirogue owner we all cracked a laugh. Because of the bike being on the heavy side they asked me to remove the luggage so Ana my gf crossed with a second pirogue and the luggage. Was a bit scary but a rear African experience.

Piroque ferry

Police on entry told us 20k Guinea franc. They asked for 50k Guinea Franc

We only had CFA and agreed on 10k CFA for 2 bikes and 2 persons.

Heart in mouth time. But they've clearly done it before.

There were tracks for a car. But i cannot imagine any car doing this
