Ein Handtuch ist so ungefähr das Nützlichste, was der interstellare Anhalter besitzen kann.*
Kurz nach seinem Tod dem 11. Mai 2001, wurde zu Ehren von D. Adams ein Gedenktag ins Leben gerufen: der Towel Day am 25. Mai. An diesem Tag sind jedes Jahr seine Fans aufgerufen ein Handtuch sichtbar zu tragen. Höchste Zeit um sich in der Vorbereitung zum Handtuchtag mit einem besonderem Exemplar auszustatten. Das DON’T PANIC Towel ist zu Ehren für Douglas Adams und seinen einzigartigen Roman ‘Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis’ entworfen.
Alles eine Frage der Vorbereitung… wie hier in Sharm El Sheikh. Da macht das baden, abtrocknen & sonnen doch gleich viel mehr Spaß.

The countdown for Christmas is running. But DON’T PANIC, the perfect Christmas gift is ready for shipping: The DON’T PANIC Towel
‘A Towel – Just about the most massively useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker can carry.’*
For all hitchhiker’s and fans of Douglas Adams, the author of the ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ we have the right companion for your life, the Universe and Everything. A beautiful bath towel, with the smart advice: DON’T PANIC.
Of course, you can use it just right after you have taken a shower or bath, but there are a lot of more things to do with a lovely towel:
‘Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough’*
Here you can get it: DON’T PANIC Towel Shop
Shipping worldwide – Even Lenin got one.

Always have a towel with you… During my travel to the south of France I visited the convent La Tourette in Eveux. An amazing building by the architect Le Corbusier in the style of brutalism, using the modulor principle. Built for a Dominican community of about 100 friars, today just twelve are still living there.
You can visit the convent by a guided tour or stay over night and enjoy building, food, religious service and the amazing view.
Especially in a convent, it is time to relax, roll out your towel and pop a fish in your ear. I had the room 106, above the entrance.
Shopping is a pleasure at the DON’T PANIC Towel Shop
The DON’T PANIC Towel Shop sells just one product, a towel as a tribute to the author Douglas Adams and his ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’.
