Alas, I paid it. I was admittedly fearful of the fit that would follow, and our family of five was about to squeeze into a tiny car-boat together; this was just part of guaranteeing our safety. Yes, we were about to embark on the   Amphicar tours , and I'm a sucker for a souvenir that captures a memory.  So, we'll save the bit on the amphicar tours for another post, but this ducky... this skipper ducky in an amphicar...
