Saint Georges Travel Guide

The police station is quite difficult to find (to get your exit/entrance stamp) so try if possible, to have a map before you go, or know how to ask for and understand directions in French. We have terrible French, and while we were wandering around looking for it, a police car drove by so we got a ride with them. I am sure that isn't normal but they were very nice. Anyways, one more thing, if you are going further into French Guiana from here, the mini bus drivers can charge whatever they want and they know it. They have quite a little monopoly going, so be prepared for the heart attack any budget traveller would feel. I think that is it. It was quite a cute little town on the river, we continued on to Brazil there, Oiapoque to Macapa to Belem, and then upriver to Peru.

to get to cayenne or Kourou, you might consider hitch-hiking. It is not 100% safe (gold-diggers, illegal immigrants are around, the majority of them peaceful people) but a lot safer than in the countries around. streets are good, but be prepared for some funny looking French policemen checking cars and passports.
