One of the really welcome features in old Dubrovnik for the footsore and weary tourist is the availability of free drinking water, flowing from a variety of old fountains set around the town.
Not only are these fountains very cool and refreshing, but they're also beautifully sculpted and form part of the visual heritage of the area. Well worth a photograph or two.
Not content with a mere drink, I soaked my head and hat in the cold water, which kept me going for a while longer in the heat.
The old Canon 5D got a bit wet though. Good job it's a tough lump.
