Wait till you are here, any supermarket or kiosk sell them for cents..

Or if hubby has a shaver adaptor take that.......so your mossie plug goes into that and it's a 3 pin regular plug on the opposite. Or many of the muti type adaptors allow that way round too

Thanks Jim.
Unfortunately, Miss Chief, hubby wet shaves but I do think I have a worldwide adaptor somewhere so I'll check that out too.

Cazz.

Hi,

If I am missing my shaver adapter for the mozzie killer, I usually use another 3 pin plug to push the top pin inwards so it allows me to slip the 2 pin (European) plug in.

Failing that - I shove a pencil or a plastic pen top in until I can get the prongs in place..... Make sure the switch is in the "off" position first, though

Bliddy hell. That's something I won't be trying. I'm one of the "health and safety" brigade.

what mossies?????????there are none, mind it is 90+ today and no snow!

90+!!?? are you sure - or are you trying to make us all jealous - just cos it's snowing here!!

In Larnaca weekend temperatures reached 30c not so warm here in the west but you would not notice, I never normally boast about the weather here on Cyprus, most are aware just what the weather is like even this early in the year, personally I would not wish temps to go this high at any time of the year. it really is unpleasant all of the time, normally we get some relief here in winter months, not so this year it seems, rain is really desperately needed but again no sign's of this, it will mean severe water cuts in all areas of CY this summer, topping of pools will I am sure be banned unless they have bored water holes to fill using this, most of us will be without tap water for days at a time in the comming months....

I see on Sky news you are having snow and other winter weather, I do feel for you all, here we have all the doors and windows open with ceiling fans on and running..what two thousand miles can do!! keep warm.

Just in case anyone is interested, I bought a travel adapter in Matalan for visitors visiting the UK, three pins with the two pins going in. Saves me looking round shops in Protaras now, just plug in and away we go.
Has anyone tried the liquid plug in mossie repellant, how does it compare to the tablets you slide in?

we always use jungle formular in the liquid defusers.. not seen so mauch as a gnat in our rooms wherever we go

Thanks wizard, will pop in superdrug tomorrow. Last thing i need for my hols oh, and my tickets.

i need to know which 2 pin adapters i need for my holiday to cyprus. Is it the type with the large fat pins or the thin small ones. if anyone could help i would really appreciate it.

Apologies if I have misunderstood, but you won't need adaptors in Cyprus. They use the same 3 pin system as the UK (well 99% of the places do).

Your appliances should all work fine.

I've stayed in about a dozen different places on the island and every one has had UK style 3-pin sockets.

we have a full discussion on this one somewhere.. as others have mooted most hotels are British 3 pin HOWEVER there are quite a few which have European 2 pin and earth [usually hotels Aimed at German/Greek/ and other European clients] I have been in 2 hotels where an adaptor was needed but it is not a problem as they are so cheap ,we always carry one..

Merged with existing topic.

thanks lucy

i couldn't see it for looking

Hi wizard these liquid defusers do you need one for each room?

I will certainly get them at the weekend, not long now 11 sleeps and counting.

ideally yes you do, remember if you purchase in the UK it will have a 2 pin plug which should adjust to fit European 2 pin sockets so a cheap adaptor may be usefull for each thats a 3 pin to 2 pin round in-case you have British sockets
