(---.kepak.com) posts : 39 Date : 05-14-08 16:19 Hey I brought some electrical item last year to SB and I had a travel adaptor plug which I thought would have worked, but didn't. I think the plug I brought is the same type used in the states - 2 pins - volts from 140 - 220 approx. Is the adaptors used in BG different? Can they picked up in the supermarkets easily enough in the resorts? Cheers Linda |

(---.kepak.com) posts : 39 Date : 05-14-08 16:37 Hiya On reflection, I think in the states the actuall pins that go into the wall are rectangular shape? The plugs I brought had round pins to go into the wall? Haven't got a clue what I brought to be honest - when I pluged my GHD in, it was luke warm when fully heated? Which was very strange indeed If I brought the plugs for the states I'm sure nothing would have happend at all? Either way, not to worry, I'll pick some up in the airport. Only 18 more days to go and I'll be there.... or 12 more work days....he he Cheers |

(---.seac.broadband.ntl.com) posts : 782 Date : 05-14-08 17:28 Thanks Pauline, not something I have had a problem with for many many years! I think it's to do with voltage, the power supply in the resorts has always been creaky, in winter there are power cuts all over Bulgaria on a rota basis. Peter |
