Hola Amigo´s, Commo est a? it´s great to hear from you all and thanks so much for all the messages after our inca Trail. We´ve been wetting ourselves just reading your replies: ¨Slap the Dutchy¨, ¨Where´s the pub¨etc. Altough the hair comments are a little hard - i really don´t think Vic´s Hair is THAT outta control!? We´re in La PAz Bolivia now and doing very well. Tonight we Head to Sucre just a little 14hr journey - a touch less than the 28hr ´Royal service´ (Ha!) it took to get here from Cusco. Hope everyone is really well! Next adventure Bolivian Salt Plains and a visit to where Butch Casidy and the sundance kid came a ´Gusta´ (that one´s for the Aussies) Adios Gringo´s xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yo bro & Vic. Glad to see u made it, pics look great (well apart from ur head bro, but u can't expect miracles!!) only kiddin!! Seems like u managed to keep u cool with the Dutch man, I would have pushed him down the hill, miserable sod!! I was goin to comment on u terrible spellin bro, but as I have already asked Mum twice how to spell, decided against it; however, the erotic pantin (sexual?), made me laugh, assumin u mean't erratic pantin!!! Seriously I have never cried with laughter as much as readin and lookin at pics, mayb u can get a book deal when u get back, "Sig & Vic's Adventures"(remember who gave u the idea, I want royalities). I especially like the pics of fat man and old couple, surely if they could do it anyone could. Although I would have probably been walkin back with the dutch man on day 1!!! Don't like 2 sound like Mum but be careful in this strange 'B' place u r goin 2 next, which u never told me about, naughty. Take care, Lucy xx

WOW GUYS WELL DONE!!! those pesky Incas why couldnt they have built their lost civilisation near a nice boozer or something!!!! Pictures look fantastic! sooo jealous of you right now, and big thanks for my Hoffmesiter tribute with a little hat on his head, absolutely loving that i cant tell you!!! Im good, went to see 2manydjs last week and they were amazing, 3.00am they stopping playing, best mix was Teenage Kicks in with Rock the Casbar, it was almost sexual!! take care chaps, speak again soon

Great photo's but the time you took putting the reports together on the Postcards page really brought it to life & as we were reading it we were there with you, scrambling up & down every rock & steep Inca step....wanting to slap the moaning Dutchy into life...people would give anything for the opportunity to do that & it didn't sound like he appreciated his chance ...until the end. Anyway, we got quite emotional re-living it with you both! You've got to do something with this talent for writing that you both have.......Keep the stories coming....Oh & your write up & photo @ Sydney harbour Bridge were in Syston Times. Both were great. Love mum & dad xxxx (& Katie)...just dropped her off at Leeds & writing this from her newly installed internet equipped pc before we head back home..

hi guys your hike sounded like hard work and tiring but well done for completing it and the photos are really good.

Well Done!!

What great photos, I sympathise with Vic, you know me and heights! What a wonderful experience.
sound like jerome really enjoyed his trip! I cant believe the food the chef produced in such primitive
conditions. Hope you are not aching too much and Simon has found a comb! Do they have barbers in Peru?
any way glad you are both back down to earth in one piece.
Hopefully speak to you soon.
Lots of Love
Mum

We did it!!! 4 long days of walking and chewing cocoa leaves and we finally got there. Theres some pics for you to look at and shortly a little postcard. No blisters and no need for oxygen.... we are very proud of ourselves. xx xx xx

Hello tired little Incas. Hope it went well. Looking forward to seeing more spectacular photies......Luv Mum & Dad xxxx

HI Guys

You should be near the end of your inca trail by now, hope it went well and you enjoyed every minute.
Its back to work for us, our holiday seems like a distant memory. Had a lovely time, weather was a little
changeable but didnt stop us visiting every town on the lake and a few more by mistake when we took the
wrong turning! Of course it was all my fault as I was navigating.
Looking forward to speaking to you shortly.
Take care
lots of love
mum

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!!!! IT'S FINALLY COME AROUND.........INCA TRAIL!! We just hope we're not the slowest and we get a few fatties in our group. We did a walk yesterday for practice and it went well. Today is strictly rest and relaxation. Katie - we will be drinking the energy drink you gave us and eating all those sweets!! we'll be sooo alert we won't be able to go to sleep. I am thinking about taking a secret stash of money so that if I get tired I can bribe one of the porters to carry me! Will let you all know how we get on. Lots of love V & S xx xx xx

Hello travellers. Great photos. It takes a certain style to carry off hats like that! Will pass nans photo message onto her tomorrow. Mum brought flowers today & dad taking over on way into work. Your photo will be just the start to the day she needs. Bulls about 30-6 up against Broncos with about 10 mins to go. Nanna & Grampa Maisey also going to match tomorrow. When they called round today they said a friend had offered them seats in the posh part. Hope they stay awake! Mum coming into town to meet up & go for drink @ R + D with George when I finish @ 12 o/c. Playing QPR. Take care up that mountain. Luv Mum & Dad xxxx
