Cisterna d'Asti
A long push to the top. Still very hot and found a seat in the shade where we ate lunch and refilled our water bottles. A regular occurence as the heat is unrelenting. Everywhere is closed, so after resting continue downhill towards Ferrere looking for accommodation. Camping is not worth thinking about because of the heat. Also there are no campsites inland to be found. Quite tired now but the only sign we have seen for a hotel is 8km away at Cocconato. We go in search of it.
