Ruins of Pompeii #atozchallenge
Disaster tourism is as unsettling as the name suggests. When disaster strikes people scurry about trying to save themselves and others but, we as humans are bouncier than rubber balls, so a few years later, we put up signs saying ‘Look here, this is where I nearly died!’ and earn a lot of money.
The ruins of Pompeii were my first experience of disaster tourism. Although, the disaster struck in 79 AD, a whole city was nearly demolished and people were burnt and buried alive. Now, it is a flourishing business.
I love to travel, discover new things, experience new cultures and then I get back home and experiment with the new food and recipes I discovered on my travels. My blog is about all those life experiences. If you’ve enjoyed this post, keep in touch with Drifting Traveller on Twitter and Facebook or by adding my blog to your RSS feed.

One thing about ruins, they still look like the ruins I saw 45 years ago.
Hahaha! Denise, Good to know that they have been preserved really well 🙂
I, too, went to Pompeii years ago. More recently I visited Herculaneum, which also was buried under Vesuvius.
