Many city dwellers love the idea of escaping the rat race and going to a place where it feels that time has stood still. Where the workers toil in the sun and the rich earth yields fields of golden maze, where fruit is picked directly from tree and vine and where a rooster crowing and a sheep bleating are the only alarms clocks. This kind of vacation is especially popular with families - what parent doesn't love to see their child covered in farm mud and grinning, while the cell phones stay turned off for a few blessed hours?
