All booked up for the trip to South America in May/June b).
England are playing Brazil in the Maracana to re-open it following redevelopment for next year's World Cup. A dream come true to see England in that place. Ace.
Booked 3 weeks down there. 10 days in Rio itself, arriving the weekend before the Brazil game and hopefully get to a couple of domestic league games that weekend.
After the international it's off down to Montevideo for 3 nights, during which I'll see Uruguay v France in the Centenario Stadium (venue of the first World Cup Final). Meant to be falling to pieces but suppose it'll add to the historic feel of the place.
After that its an overnight bus to Asuncion for 3 nights, where I'll catch Paraguay v Chile in a World Cup qualifier. The day after that it's a trip over to the Paraguay/Brazil/Argentina border for 2 days at the Iguazu Falls which are supposed to be superb.
Cannot wait
