Keeping ipods charged

My fiance and I are spending 66 days backpacking throughout Europe. We are going to be sleeping in hostels and on trains, is it going to be hard to find places to charge our ipods? Thank you for your Help!

I've never had a problem charging in hostels--even in dorm rooms, I always managed to charge my ipod.

As long as you can find an electrical outlet, you can charge your ipod. Make sure you have the adapter to fit the outlet in the wall. You can pick up an inexpensive kit at Target, or a local travel store ($25 or less) the iPod's charger is OK for Europe, but you need the plug that goes into the wall socket in Europe to adapt to our US flat prongs.

If you think you'll ever have to worry about access to an outlet, I recommend the battery chargers offered for the Ipod as well. I got one for a week stay in the Yukon Wilderness, and one round of batteries for the charger lasted me almost the entire time.

I JUST bought this today for an upcoming trip. This may be helpful to you, but it does require batteries:
