oBuntschuTravel night to Innsbruck
I had decided to take a night train but wasn't in a rush, so I opted for the 🇦🇹 detour. 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 #TowelDay.
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.
Vogon Poetry overload? It just may have exploded the synapses of our fifth and final poet, who provided us a non-working email. If this poem is yours, contact us again to claim your prize!

And after this, it's all uphill!

The judge doesn't care who was blame, their suffering would be the same regardless
Third in our series of fan made Vogon Poems for #TowelDay 2025.
Word from our judges is they appreciate this was even shorter than the second (can this trend continue?)
The second #TowelDay Vogon Poetry winner is a driving observation by Alistair Coleman. (Eyes on the road Alistair! Eyes on the road!)

Though to the chemist it is far,
A tedious trudge, both ways uphill,
That’s peanuts to the nearest star -
And space itself is bigger still.
Our first #TowelDay Vogon Poetry winner is Aradhye Ackshatt
We hope you enjoy their ode, and don't find it too odious (oh c'mon, that pun was just too easy)
