Good thing is it’s a small island and people are very kind there and would let you charge for free at petrol stations, restaurants even when I was stranded in the rain and battery drained instantly I got to someone place they hosted me for 3 hours and had the best chat. I feel bad how restaurant owners refuse to use their socket yet you even offer to eat or buy something.
