Travelling to Ica
Today I travelled from Lima to Ica over the Panamerican highway to the South. I stopped to have a look at a archeological site near Lima and to see the beach at Punto Negra.
The further South you get the more you can see of the devastation caused by the earthquake earlier this year. A lot of the houses have collapsed and a lot of people now have to live in tents while they try to rebuild their homes. The homes are often no more then four instable walls with a simple roof and the houses are packed up together.
The landscape is a dry and dusty desert, sometimes dotted with green spots of vegetation. On the other side there is the ocean. There are a lot of new villages being build. I really don´t get how people can live here without electricty or running water...
Because it is not very safe in Ica I´m to eating in the hotel.
