When you are feeling world-weary and are struggling to get up in the morning, when your soul needs a lift, take a few days in the Cape Winelands District where the wake-up call is welcome.
Wake up to the crisp, early morning air, lightly fragranced with the scent of dew-covered earth and salty karoo bush surrounded by the gentle light of the autumn sunrise. And even if you are not a morning person, the delight of a new day will bring a smile to your soul. These precious few hours of the day are normally reserved for the morning people among us. But in autumn and winter, mornings are a little later, which means we can all be morning people!
Some of us wake up wanting a bit of quiet meditation and a warm cuppa, while others greet the day with resonating Ohm’s and deep stretches. Then there are those true morning people, who grab the day with vigour and feel the need to pump the lungs and follow trails accompanied by the sound of their own heartbeat and the quick darts of the other morning folk, the feathered kind. Once your morning routine has awoken your senses and filled you with new energy, you will be ready to take on a day that will rejuvenate your spirit.
