Prague Day 4: Terezin and that One Jew Kid

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Prague Day 4: Terezin and that One Jew Kid

Hands down visiting Terezin concentration camp was the coolest thing we did while we were there. If we are going to the Czech Republic this is a must do! It was probably one of the most impactful experiences I’ve had in my life.

Sam and I had the morning free before we got picked up by our tour company at 12:30. So like any good tourists we were up with the sun (more or less) and headed out to look at the Castle.

So even though we knew our hotel was ‘500 meters’ from the castle, we still weren’t exactly sure how to get there……well let’s just say…..we are f-ing stupid. So We walk out of our hotel and head up the street.

Prague Day 3: Karlstjen Castle and 28,000 steps later

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Prague Day 3: Karlstjen Castle and 28,000 steps later

Today was a big day for us….we got a lot in, not to mention we walked 28,000 steps (over 5 miles). So prepare yourself people, this post is going to be epic in length!

This morning we were up early for a trip to Karlštejn Castle. I would like to know in what countries do people actually eat hot dogs and baked beans for breakfast?

I love that our hotel has a free breakfast included in our stay and all, but I found it a little strange that hot dogs and baked beans were even an option for the morning meal….but others didn’t because a lot of other guests were eating them. I opted for scrambles eggs and cereal instead…..plus large amounts of coffee since I only slept intermittently for a grand total of about 5 hours all together.

We booked a few tours through Grey Line Tours, which is the same company we used in England and we had positive expierneces with them that time so we went with them again. I will say we had an equally good experience this time with them as well. They are affordable, nothing fancy but their tours get the job done.

Prague Day 1 and 2: Soul Plane and the Missing Deodorant

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Prague Day 1 and 2: Soul Plane and the Missing Deodorant

I should have known that things weren’t going to go well for us when I realized I forgot to pack deodorant. Sam and I share deodorant and each thought that the other packed it.

So here were are, sitting in our Portland hotel the night before we leave for Prague when we realize…..shit, we don’t have deodorant.

We get up Friday morning early (4:30 am) and depart for Portland airport and check into Virgin Airlines for the PDX to LAX by way of San Francisco Airport (SF) flight that we have been dreading….cause really, 4 plane changes is just excessive even if we are flying across the Atlantic.

No thanks to Expedia, we were forced to change some of our flight plans but we thought we had it all figured out until we checked in at PDX. The Expedia fiasco was an entirely different set of craziness……let’s just say……we will probably never use Expedia again let’s just leave it that way!

Special Feature: Happy Birthday Jane Austen

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Special Feature: Happy Birthday Jane Austen

Today, Dec 16th marks what would have been Jane Austen’s 238th birthday! Austen is one of my most beloved authors.

Her books and heroines have charmed audiences for years and the heroines of the book become role models for women around the world.

Austen’s novels and stories never go out of style. I can read Pride and Prejudice over and over again. I am sure many woman have a favorite Austen heroine…..Elizabeth Bennet is the most popular of course.

For me personally, I love Anne Elliot from Persuasion or Elinor Dashwood from Sense and Sensibility.

Austen is all things classy, elegant, and enduring. For all you Janeites out there I wanted to share a special feature honoring this timeless author!

Here are some fun Jane Austen inspired things to distract you today!

  1. Jane Austen meets Mean Girls, Austin Powers, and Groundhog Day. Sound too good to be true? It’s not! They have all come together to help you figure out 7 ways to celebrate Jane Austen’s birthday.
  2. Matchmaking, like stormy weather, class disputes, and Lydia Bennet, runs rampant in Jane Austen’s novels, and Open Road Media has matched up some of Austen’s most beloved characters with an array of picks from contemporary literature across all genres, including works by Gloria Steinem, Barbara Pym, and Dorothy Sayers to name a few. So, Austen fans: Meet Your Match.
