From Bonaire to Mozambique
When travelling from Bonaire to Mozambique: Some of your Bonaire plug types fit in Mozambique (C, F). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (127V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.
