We have hit a minor inconvenience. Not anything that could ruin a trip, but one of those little “rock in your shoe” annoyances that you wish you could deal with.
Our beard trimmer has stopped working. Given that we each need to use it about every 3 or 4 days, that’s a bit of a nuisance.
It actually hasn’t quit working, it’s just that the battery has run down.
Combine that with the fact that we learned (a) not all outlets in the bathroom are 110, even if they’re marked 110. They are sometimes 220; and (b) the charger for this particular appliance isn’t – or rather wasn’t – a dual voltage one like some are.
Thus, the “pop” heard when it was plugged in was in fact it’s death gasp.
And now the beard trimmer doesn’t work and we don’t want to buy a new one because, of course, they’re all 220 here – not to mention the fact that it’s one of the few things that isn’t dirt cheap here – the ones we saw in the mall are easily twice what we’d pay at Walgreens.
For an appliance to use 2 weeks.
Maybe the next round of pictures we post will be "smooth-shaven."
