In my room there is, in addition to what others have said above, a plug on the desklamp that can be used with either the euro plug or the American two-prong plug - I believe that is Type A and Type C. Irene Tait Wikimania '18 Conference Assistant Wikimedia Foundation it...@wikimedia.org c. 510

If I remember correctly, StayEasy has both the South-African and the europlug, but only the flat europlug: round ones don't fit. You can buy converters everywhere though, for about ten bucks. Vriendelijke groet, Ciell 2018-07-14 18:52 GMT+02:00 Romaine Wiki : > In my hotel room there are two

In the hotel it is possible to use European and US plugs in rooms. If you need to travel, you need to buy a local plug adapter (nothing I've seen before), you can do so in any of the local stores practically at the hotel's doorstep. I bought mine for about 100 Rand. Best, Dj "pundit" On Thu,
