The official language is Portuguese, but most people speak a mix of French and Portuguese Creole. It is a small country wedged between [[Senegal ]] to the north, [[Guinea ]] to the south the Atlantic to the west.
The capital is [[Bissau]], by the mouth of the river Geba. A small city with a lively fisherman's market by the water. European bank cards rarely work so make sure you make a withdrawal with what you need in Senegal before crossing the border to Guinea-Bissau.
Pensao Creol is the best place for finding rides beforehand. Many European drivers with cars to sell stop there before heading further south or towards the east part of the country.
The roads are fairly well trafficked in and around Bissau and the roads leading to the capital from Senegal and Guinea, rides are usually easy to come by though some will ask you to share gasoline costs.
