[QUOTE="BrienC, post: 386287, member: 44406"] An excerpt from my preparation handbook: "The simple solution, and a huge weight saving measure, would be to purchase a European power adaptor from Amazon.com or other retailer. You can also wait until arriving in Europe to pick one up. These devices have the Europlug round pins and are designed to work with the 220-volt/50-hertz power found in Europe, thus saving the need for a travel adapter or transformer. An optional piece of technology too is a battery pack. This item does add weight to your pack, but provides a couple advantages: Additional energy capacity for your phone or tablet and the ability to charge your phone overnight in your sleeping bag or somewhere else in your immediate control. Simply charge the battery pack on arrival at that night’s lodging while you are cleaning up and having dinner. Then, charge your phone while in your possession, rather than sitting out on a bench plugged into the power strip. Look for a battery pack in the 2,500 to 5,000mAh (milliamp hour) range, larger for tablets. Also, make sure to take along the USB cable required to charge the battery pack from your Europlug adaptor, if the connector end (at the battery pack) is different from that of your phone or tablet." Beyond the aforementioned, I learned there was no need of the solar panel I brought. I sent it home in Leon. Buen Camino [/QUOTE]
