One of the many drinking fountains in Rome. The water is cool and clear and perfectly drinkable (and on the odd occasion it's not, it's clearly marked). These little fountains run all the time - something Australians aren't used to coming from a land where drought is a common state. The trick to drinking from them is to place your finger over the end of the spout, to force the water up through the small hole pointing upwards halfway along the spout. But watch out! The water can jet out with far more force and much further than you're expecting! Miss Tizz got a little damp trying it out, but had lots of fun in the process (and accidentally washed someone's Vespa):
