Wii and HDMI Lead

Having moved, just went to connect up my Wii to my new Kitchen TV - a Samsung 22 inch 4010 LED - and found there's no room to get a scart connector in the back but it has 2 hdmi connectors on the side easily accessible.
I'm not interested in upscaling the quality of the picture but just want the easiest way to connect, but I can't seem to find a wii hdmi converter cable around... does one exist or is it at all possible?

    SCART is an analog interface, HDMI is digital and therefore incompatable, has your TV got phono inputs?
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    The Wii only offers an analogue output, which will be why you can't find an HDMI lead for it.
    Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.

    The Wii also supports component video which most HD TVs will take - phono connectors clooured red/blue/green + the normal red/white audio. If the TV has that try eBay for leads (just search for wii component cable).
