    KiwiNomad - Sorry for confusing you, my fellow kiwi, but buena! hails from the US of A and they definitely have a different voltage over there (and, btw, different freuency too). So that post was directed to buena!. The voltage is the same (220/230 Volt, 50 Hertz) - so all your gadgets will...

    drain plug, guidebooks, soap, ear plug and knife...

    So my deep thoughts about "plugs" (in general) where not in vain. I felt pretty much ashamed after I realized my silly mistake, I can tell you. Took quite a few bottles of NZ Pinot noir to get over it... Yes. Your problem is the difference in voltage. European chargers of course are ok for...

    Now I got it. Not that kind of plug. Oh dear, oh dear. Can't even delete my shameful utterings. My apologies...

    drain plug, guidebooks, soap, ear plug and knife...

    Folks - there are so many things running on electric power, i.e. digicams (yep, I'll bring one for my Camino), video cameras (no), ipods or mp3 players (yes, got one - can't live without my music), electric shaver (no), electric toothbrush (sic! - but no), laptop (oh my Gawd...), handhelds or...

    Your profile says you're from the US of A. To repeat myself: US have 110/120 Volt AC at 60 Hertz, Europe has 220/230 Volt AC at 50 Hertz, so make sure you have a charger (or device in case you plug it straight in) that can handle both. Some do: "input 100/240V, 50/60Hz", some don't - so...

    Camera:digital or disposable?

    Mate, only in NY, NY do they have chainsaws which are "to plug in". Ours in down under run on petrol. Sorry: "gas"... I forgot to mention that I will prebook accommodation as well. Comes as a package: accommodation, breakfast and luggage transport. All prebooked. Which makes me a bit a...

    Camera:digital or disposable?

    Hm. I have to admit I'm biased. Because when I walk the Camino francès (all the way) in May 2008 I will have booked luggage transport. Sorry... Ok. I always have this handy excuse of my "old spinal injury" - which, alas and unfortunately and so on - is not a lie. I'm allowed to have...

    Camera:digital or disposable?

    We are frequent travellers all over this planet and there is no question: DIGITAL. Nothing else. Disposables have a really atrocious quality, not to mention the missing zoom etc. - I wouldn't touch them. Get yourself a nice ligthweight digital one with 3 optical (!) zooms, a few 1GB SD cards and...

    To Ipod or not to Ipod

    Re "charger": US have 110/120 Volt AC at 60 Hertz, Europe has 220/230 Volt AC at 50 Hertz, so make sure you have a charger (or device in case you plug it straight in) that can handle both. Some do: "input 100/240V, 50/60Hz", some don't - so check, before the thingy goes up in smoke.... You...

    To Ipod or not to Ipod

    My tuppence: I most definitely won't walk the Camino francès without an MP3-Player (IPOD, YOUPOD oder HE/SHE/IT-PODs - who cares...). Sure as eggs break. I hear a lot about "interaction" and "contacts" (worse: "social contacts") between pilgrims. Hm. See, I'm none of those - I'm only sort...
