We are going to Canada in June for about 10days. Flying to Montreal, visiting Quebec, Ottawa & Niagara before flying back from Toronto. I have a problem regarding electrical adaptors and chargers.
We will need to plug in hair curlers (not mine, I haven't got any hair), probably my camera battery charger and also charge mobile phones. I know that the supply in Canada is 110/120 volts and we have flat pin adaptors that I hoped would be Ok but, on a North American website, I saw a different configuration of socket, two flat pins & an earth pin, a bit like ours. If we encounter sockets like these I don't think our adaptors will fit, but I have not seen any like that over here.
Our mobile phone chargers are marked 110-230v so I am assuming/hoping these should be ok. My camera battery charger is marked 230v so it may charge but take a long time to do so. But, obviously, the most important item is the curlers (so I am being told by my wife). I would be obliged if anyone has any experience of hotels in Canada &, if they have encountered difficulties, how did they solve them. I know it all seems a bit confusing, but I have tried to get it all down as I thought of it. Any advice would be appreciated. (I am posting in the America/Canada & the General forums. I hope this is Ok)
