It’s not everyone’s “cup of tea”, but,
having made the effort, going for a walk, ride or run at 5.30am is really nice.

Yesterday, the volcanoes in the distance
stood out impressively, and they were visible still today. Everything is lush
and green, although the smell of things about to rot is present.

Early morning is when a lot of activity
happens, with people going to work, kids off to school, villagers opening shops
and stalls and women off to the markets.

It’s usually the perfect temperature for
exercising, and half an hour gets the blood flowing and the brain cells
operating, ready to face a day at the “coal face”.
