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.

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.

>>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.<<
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.
