Going there in 14 weeks time. Please can anyone tell me what electric sockets they use there so I can sort out an adapter or two.

I assume that also means that they deliver 110V 60hz?

I looked it up in Lonely Planet a couple of hours after my post, and yes it is 110/60 (same as US).
Niels Most of my battery chargers are rated for automatically going from 110-240V
