*** Guinea Bissau to Guinea ***
I took a mototaxi from Quebo to Boke for 25.000 CFA. A local I stayed with in Quebo arranged the taxi for me, so I think it’s a good price. The ride to Boke took around 3 hours.
In the last village before the border I got the exit stamp by a friendly officer without any issues. A few hundert meters further there was a guy in uniform who asked for 1000 CFA without doing or checking anything. My driver told me to pay. Shortly after the border sign we stopped on the Guinean side, where friendly guys checked my Visa & Passport and wrote down the details in a book - no money asked. Shortly before the river crossing there was another officer. He also wanted to see my Visa, Passport and my Corona-Vaccinations. He asked for a “migration fee” of 20.000 GNF. Any discussions were effortless. The river crossing was 20.000 GNF. Seven Kilometres after the river crossing there is the real immigration point with a really nice officer. There you’ll get your Guinea entree stamp.
With a car this border crossing is impossible. The road is really small and bad. Also there is no ferry for cars.

Guinea-Bissau -> Guinea.
Blink and you miss it, small track to the hut. For bicycles and motorcycles only. Impossible for cars or trucks. Even big motorcycles like ours - very difficult. Stamped passports out. Stamped G-B pass-avant and gave it back to me (odd, but ok) and asked 2000 CFA.
Then they suggested one if their officers come help us, to push the bike if needed. Very glad we agreed - he led the way on his own bike then at one point I let him ride ours over the rickety, narrow footbridge over a small river (and he needed two people stabilizing him).

police sometimes use a discreet hut here easily missed, don't pass it without getting passport checked or they get annoyed
