Ps Sorry about the 1 star rating on a previous blog. It was meant to be a 5 star but I clicked at the wrong time and it won't let me change it!!!

Hi guys, have a safe trip down to Kiwiland. The final Villa match of the season was the first since James' went that was disappointing to miss. Villa Park was rocking (even Phil stayed awake - he was asleep 30 minutes before kick off!) and we beat and relegated Newcastle!! Fat Geordies in tears everywhere.... excellent! The blogs are great.

It is snowing in New Zealand!

Great to read your latest blog Mike - very interesting and funny. Looking forward to seeing your Inca Trail pictures. No doubt hear from you next when you are in sunny New Zealand. Take care both. Love us x

Really enjoying your blogs! Glad you`re having such a great time. Look forward to reading all about New Zealand.

Very impressed by your Machu Pichu hike. Take care.

Sounds like you are having a fab time, I'm so jealous, apart from the freaky guinea pig stuff, think I'd rather become a veggie. I love the bit about the chair, you fat lard James!!!!

Take care and continue having a brill time. xxx

ps I'm playing rounders tomorrow and Chris Yeates is on the other side, so I'll try to make sure he's first out!!! Ha Ha

Oh my days guys! missing you loads and loads, it sounds like you're having an amazing time so i'm going to stop worrying about you now...a little bit less anyway!

i'm so jealous, i could cry, it's been pissing it down over here across the seas so enjoy it over there! and think of us wet and cold and shivering!

Hiya, the penultimate Villa update of the season, we all but relegated Boro on Saturday, dreadful first half, much better second. Results mean that beating Newcastle on Sunday will relegate them. C'mon Villa!!! Massive away support on Saturday, loads in fancy dress (remember Upton Park?) including an entire row of Bananas!!
