Asti to Torino was expected to be a steady climb, Torino being closer to the Alps. I also planned in a good hill at the end just ’cause and of course so we could get the view. The road was quite busy with lots of trucks but for the most part everyone behaved. At one point there was quite a traffic jam but we inched our way up the shoulder passing everyone who had gone by us the previous 20 minutes. Unfortunately the view coming down the hill into Torino wasn’t as good as it could have been due to a heat haze obscuring the Alps, and lots of forest close to the road also blocking the view. Torino is a big city, and has been prosperous for hundreds of years which means lots of tall fabulous buildings and lousy GPS reception… so we struggled a bit finding the hotel. Then they had no record of our Venere.com reservation but still found us rooms for the same price but suspiciously without air conditioning. It is still seriously hot here so sleep was not easy. Tomorrow will be a visit the city day so we better go figure out what to do.
