This allowed me to finally try a night in a Mini Cabin, more on that tomorrow. I enjoyed the booking system assigning me cabin number 42 for this <a href="https://tux.social/tags/TowelDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TowelDay</span></a>.</p><p>The wait for the train in and around Hamburg Hbf was less enjoyable. To me the "vibes" 🙄 just seemed the most questionable of my trip - but to be fair, the stabbing two days earlier didn't help.</p><p><a href="https://tux.social/tags/baltirail2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>baltirail2025</span></a> <a href="https://tux.social/tags/hitchhikersguide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hitchhikersguide</span></a></p>

Kayla Eilhart (en)<p>Yesterday, we were at local art cinema to watch Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy.<br><br>A few observations:<br>- not many people had their towels<br>- not many people got peanuts with their beer<br>- I remember the movie to be disappointing the first time I saw it, but over the years, I actually started to enjoy it, especially the little things, like the original Marvin, Douglas Adams head - and also the actors (because I saw them in many other movies over the years and I enjoy their appearance)<br>- I cried a little while hearing Alan Rickman's voice<br><br>Overall, very cozy experience and Earth was not destroyed.<br><br><a href="https://gts.eilhart.cz/tags/towelday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>towelday</span></a> <a href="https://gts.eilhart.cz/tags/towelday2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>towelday2025</span></a> <a href="https://gts.eilhart.cz/tags/hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy</span></a></p>
