With the warmer summer days upon us in Dubrovnik it is always wise to avoid the midday sun. Buy a hat, use sun cream or even an umbrella to keep away from those rays, you can even seek the shade of nature.

However these tourists found a rather odd way to keep out of the Adriatic sun, under an olive tree in the middle of one of the busiest road junctions in the city. A reader sent us photos of this group of tourists huddled under the shade of a relatively small olive tree on a roundabout as traffic thundered past.
