My wife had to go to Holland for a week because of family illness. *While

If you are contemplating using your credit cards on travel in Europe
(certainly Holland), make sure you get new ones with a chip. *Or be
prepared for hassles.

My chipped card only runs on 110V, will it work over there?

You need an adaptor. A store in Nigeria sells them.
