Pompeii is a wonderful place to visit. It's so thick with atmosphere and I found it surprisingly emotional.

Some of the castings of people who were killed are in such anguished, such human positions that they made me want to cry. It was strange to think that these people lived so long ago and yet, faced with fear and pain and death they reacted in exactly the same way as anyone would today. Seeing someone huddled in the foetal position hiding their face, or someone lying on their front covering their head was just so real. I wasn't prepared for that when I went there.
