In Aruba now but need Camera Charger!

pauljsilva · 11-01-2009, 01:27 PM

Hi everyone, I'm at the Marriott Surf Club but noticed I left behind my SONY DSC-W70 Digital Camera Charger. I happen to bring 2 batteries but somehow forgot the charger... Does anyone have a charger and can be so kind to lend it to me for a few hours? Please help!

I forgot to mention that both batteries are dead and can't take any pictures....

There is an electronics store at Certified Mega mall.

thanks for the tips. Was hoping someone staying at the Surf Club or nearby would have a similar camera/charger...

that is why i suggested asking the conscierge for assistance.

realistically though, it would take quite a chain of luck for you to find someone at the Marriott property that had one of those chargers and another thing for that person to loan it out would be even more amazing.....but certainly not unheard of!

the reason we suggested the electronics stores is because you have a better chance of getting a charger and moving on with your photos and vacation, then you do with someone actually seeing your post, having the charger and then loaning it to you.

hope all works out for you.

In Oranjestad you can find Boolchands.
Maybe they have it there
And Oranjestad is only 15 minutes from the hotel area.

Boochand's or Lucky electronics (which is way cheaper then boochands) is your best best. Beware "lucky electronics" by the certified actually is an "electric" store rather than an "electronic" store - you have to go to the one in town. They have the best selection in the one downtown verses the one by the cruise ships.
