Field note / 05:48

Arrive before
the day does.

The island is generous at first light: cooler roads, empty courtyards, the first hiss of a tea stall.

Our destination planning is less about fitting everything in and more about choosing the right hour. We know which ruins hold shade, which beaches turn glassy before breakfast and when the elephants cross.
