Eurostar question!
 
I was wondering when you're riding the Eurostar from London to Paris can you keep your luggage with you or do you have to store it some place? Thanks!

Some goes in racks at the end of the car and some goes in the overhead racks above your seat - mainly depends on the amount/size.

Thank you. Just to go ahead and ask, what kind of power converter do I need for France to charge my iPhone?

You don't need a power converter.

The iPhone charger is dual voltage. All you need is an inexpensive plug adapter.

For most electronic devices in the 21st century, they are almost surely dual voltage and will operate both on North American voltage (120( and European (24). However, the plus are different; as a matter of fact they are different in the UK than on the continent than in North America.

A plug adapter is relatively cheap...plenty are available say on ebay for next to nothing or you can pick them up while overseas...you can, for example, in the UK go into Boots (and other chemists and grocery chains nd the like) and purchase a plug adapted that will allow you to use North American plugs in UK outlets, yu can also pick up an adapter at the same time that convert UK to European (may be harder though not impossible to find European to North American in London)...simply stick the two together and you're all set. Won't cot more than a couple of dollars or pounds or whatever wherever you get them.
