Most of the time, I write about blizzards, typhoons, floods, and so on. But I don’t ski in a blizzard or get wet in a flood. Well, this week’s blog is different, because this time I was there when something big happened!

I was on holiday in an area which has earthquakes. I knew that before I went. But the last big earthquake there happened 50 years ago, so I didn’t really think about it when I booked.

During the first few days, I went swimming every morning in the warm sea and then, in the afternoon, I walked up the side of the mountain behind the town. I didn’t climb over rocks or anything like that. I just walked slowly up a few hundred meters of one of the old donkey tracks.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, I was on the mountain when the ground started to move. I remembered about the earthquakes then, and I thought, ‘The ground will open up and I’ll fall in.’ Then I looked down at the town and saw a huge wave coming very fast towards it. Houses near the beach disappeared under the water. I was safe on the side of the mountain, but my hotel fell down and I lost all my stuff.
