adapter and/or convertor for IPad

I'm taking my IPad 2 to Norway, Switzerland and Germany in a few days. All l have is an adapter with two prongs on one end. Is that sufficient to charge my IPad, or do I need a convertor also? Would certainly appreciate any help on this matter - sure don't want to ruin my IPad!!

Beverly, All you'll need is the Euro Plug Adapter with two round pins. I'd suggest taking a couple as they're easy to misplace. Magellans (two stores in southern California on online orders) currently offers Euro Plug Adapters for $2.85, a bargain! Cheers!

Except for those pesky shipping charges. You can probably also find them in the travel section of places like Target, or the hardware store.

@Michael, "currently offers Euro Plug Adapters for $1.00, an even bigger bargain!" That's true, but as Nancy mentioned the shipping charges can often exceed the price of the merchandise. I mentioned Magellans specifically as the OP is from California so may at some time be able to drop by the stores and pay NO shipping charges.
