Excellent blog - learnt a lot!! Poor James, must be all the guinea pig he ate!! ha ha, very funny.

Hope you are both having fun on the Inca trail. James' isnt missing much from Villa's end of season run in, they look like they are on the beach themselves (and it seems as if we won't even be able to relegate the Geordies, we'll have to make do with middlesborough on Saturday). Don't eat too many Guinea Pigs, you might get a taste for them and start breaking into pet shops when you get back!!

Hi Mike,

Have just caught up with your hols news, seems as if you are local already. Enjoy

Chuks, Steve and Richard

The photos from the Maracana look fantastic, looks like you enjoyed the after match drinking as well... Villa v Bolton was an end of season bore draw. The only thing left to look forward to is (hopefully) relegating Newcastle on the last day. Sarah says hello, we look forward to the next blog!

Hope all is well, liked the pictures... Speak to you soon.

Glad to see it's not just England where Smole's charms fail to work!

I'm hoping you'll come back with all the flair of Kaka for our Thursday night footy! However, now I'm slightly concerned you're gonna come back more like fat Ronaldo!

Have fun guys!

Much love x

Hiya mate. Sounds tough all that sunshine and beer !! Typical recent Villa performance on Saturday, Heskey scored, hit a post and missed a sitter, really open game, late WHU equaliser!! Jason used your ticket and Phil fell asleep, just a normal afternoon at Villa Park. Hope you got to the Maracana!

Why are all the photos of smole's ugly mug, Mike a bit camera shy? looks like ur 'avin a great time anyway lads, try not to charm too many of those bikini clad babes :P

Hi Boys

Great to read your blog and it sounds like you're having fun. Hope neither of you falls out of bed and that you manage to get into them after drinking your cocktails Mike! Enjoy your trip to Sugar Loaf and the footie match and we look forward to seeing some pics of your adventures soon. Take care. Lots of love Mum and Dad xxxx

Great blog guys!

Glad to hear you both arrived safely and already soaking up the sun on the Copacabana. Looking out of my window this morning you certainly have all the sunshine with you. I laughed about the shoe shine James!

Have a great time at the match, which team are you supporting as its two big local clubs.... are you impressed by my new football knowledge courtesy of Wikipedia! I'd support Flamengo because i prefer their football strip.... oh so girly.

Sugar Loaf Mountain looks fab, maybe the bunk beds are meant to prepare you both for the giddy heights. The open air cable car is now only a museum exhibition piece, so i hope you get in the right one!

Take care guys! Hope Mike finds his cocktail again, Sis xxx
