#28 Vicarious Vacays: Part 2
Explicit content warning
09/07/20 • 77 min
Take a vicarious virus-free vacay with the Raisin at the Hot Dog's End as your fearless hosts explore this ghost town of an island (cue tumbleweed) after the tourist pipe got shut off in this two-part episode. So dust off your virtual luggage and come take a trip with us around Iceland.
In Part 2, Jonas and friends explore the northern and southern reaches of Iceland, including the Sardinia of the North (if you kind of blur your eyes), Ólafsfjörður, and Iceland's very own volcanic (and Morman-loving) darlings, the Westman Islands. Lydia and Jonas both visit the island of Hrísey but with two completely different perspectives.
Places mentioned in this episode:
- Hvammstangi
- Ólafsfjörður
- Siglufjörður
- Dalvík
- Laugarbakki
- Hrísey
- Vestmannaeyjar

#27 Vicarious Vacays: Part 1
Take a vicarious virus-free vacay with the Raisin at the Hot Dog's End as your fearless hosts explore this ghost town of an island (cue tumbleweed) after the tourist pipe got shut off in this two-part episode.
Part 1, in which Jonas and Lydia do some light, requisite whining about the locals' distaste for following rules set out to combat Iceland's second Covid wave. But changing gears they regale you with the details of their extravagant, extensive travels this summer on the island that Covid forgot (for the most part, at least until August). But there's trouble in paradise when the gear gods throw a wrench in Lydia's ride and the old Isuzu is put to the test.
Places mentioned in this episode:
- Seljalandsfoss
- Gljúfrabúi
- Skogafoss
- Skogar Museum
- Icelandic Museum of Transport and Communication
- DC3 Wreck at Sólheimar
- Þakgil campsite
- Paradise cave

#29 You Won’t Believe What Iceland Charges for Cheese!
They’re ba-ack! Just like the ghosts that kidnapped little Carol Anne in the movie Poltergeist.
Jonas and Lydia review what went well and what went terribly wrong in 2020, all the while trying desperately to remain positive despite the bad taste 2020 and the first seven days of 2021 have left in their mouths. Explosive diarrhea can have that effect. And as expected, everything eventually comes back to drag, ‘wrastling,' books and cheese.
Can't get enough? Check out Lyd the SBW's podcast.
