Amsterdam: 220 volt extension cord?
 

I'm going to be in Amsterdam late February and read somewhere that there was a good chance that I'm going to need a 220 volt compliant extension cord because the outlets will probably not necessarily be convenient. I already have electrical plug adapters but can someone tell me if there is a place near Amsterdam's Central Station for me to pick up a 220 volt safe extension cord (one with mutiple outlets would be best)? Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Assuming you are from the US - take a power bar from home - use your adapter to plug it into the wall and then plug your chargers etc into the power bar.

You alread posted this and got answers. Usually no need to start a new thread. To find your previous posts - just click on your name.

Füssen is what everybody recommends and so it is overrun with tourists and tour buses, also because of the nearby castle.

Here's a nicer place: Type the name Rottach or Rottach-Egern into any search engine (www.google.com etc.) and see what a nice place this is, just what you described, and on a pretty lake, the Tegernsee not far from Munich.

You can also go to www.tiscover.de, click on English (top right), and search for Rottach (top right also) - lots of good reading pops up.

Forget the above - dropped it onto the wrong post.

I tried this several years ago. The in-line circuit breaker on my hair dryer kept tripping after a minute or so. Worked fine when I ditched the extension cord I brought from home.

Sorry that I reposted my thread. I just couldn't find my original. I thought it had been deleted or something. Thanks for all of the responses.

Never used it fo a hair dryer which draws a lot of current. For computer, camera, video chargers etc it works fine
