I don’t know about you, but when I’m on holiday the last thing I feel like doing is getting out of bed early. I’m generally content to sleep in and then make a mid-morning appearance at the hotel breakfast buffet. After all, there will he plenty of days when your back at work when you have to get up, and all you want to do is sleep in.
Occasionally though, it pays to just bite the bullet, drag yourself out from under your sheets and see what the early morning has to offer.
This is particularly the case if you happen to be on a beach holiday, as quite frankly, taking an early morning walk along the beach can be simply breathtaking. I was on the Sunshine Coast with my wife and teenage kids for three nights last weekend. On our first morning, I took advantage of the opportunity to lie in bed for as long as possible, I needed the rest, but on day two and three we left the kids in their beds and set off for an early morning walk. Not only did we get some exercise before breakfast, but we also saw the beach at its best. Two great sunrises and and empty stretch of sand all to ourselves. I don’t know what more we could have asked for.
