Liverpool, the tourist bit.
We had a tour of Liverpool in a yellow amphibious duck. These vehicles are DUCKWS, built in the USA by General Motors in the mid 1940's as military ship to shore transportation. They were used in the D-day landings, and many remained in service until the 1970's.

The trip took us on land around Liverpool, and then back to the docks where at high speed it took to the water. Quite a good trip.
