If you are staying at a hotel, ask at the reception, most hotels do provide nowadays charging cables/adpters as a service. In some cases you might even be given one (used of course) for free, it seems like nowadays charging cables/adapters are the most forgotten items (very rarely asked for) by travelers, and they end up in the "unclaimed items" cupboard.
