Even though I’m 13,000km away from my regular life in Sydney in the Peruvian Amazon, I just can’t escape. Today, we were issued with Wellington boots for a walk in a muddy, water-logged part of the jungle. It made me smile … My latest book is The Duke’s Secret about the Duke of Wellington whose name was taken for the boots when he cut down long riding boots to make them easier to wear in battle. And even more scary was one of my fellow passengers on our ship reading a copy of the book!#aquanera #on-assigment@travellerau #thedukessecret@allenandunwin
