Alternatively, I'm worked out that the only appliances I'll be taking that will need charging during the time I'm away are my iPhone and iPad (same connector - pre iPhone 5). I'm sure I can just get a HK/UK Apple charger (or even an HK/UK to USB charging adaptor) fairly cheaply at the airport. It's also entirely feasible that some places may even have USB charging ports, although I won't be counting on it (can any of the Wikimania team confirm or deny?).
