Latest Review: The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci by Belle Ami

Post by Chinedu Nwakaji »

"This book originated from a joint dream to begin a journey around the globe together, formulated when Peter and I swooned in love over a meal of beans and rice and jerk chicken at a waterfront Cuban café in Ft Lauderdale. "

The title of this book is Bluewater Walkabout by Tina Dreffin. It is an adventure book with lots of interesting stories.

In a proper adventure, everything should be in a bit of a challenge, so it seemed appropriate that I had to pee the moment I put my waders on.
