[00:04.61]As a man I was part of the hunting party,
[00:07.12]which I'm afraid to say wasn't
[00:08.49]all that successful.
[00:10.43]We spent a lot of time nearly catching things.
[00:13.02]usually our catch would consist of a hare
[00:15.45]or a bullfrog or two...
[00:17.45]And what does that taste like?
[00:19.85]It tastes like nothing on earth actually...
[00:22.15]like nothing else on earth.
[00:24.55]...and that's just one of the eco-tourism
[00:26.97]options now on offer.
[00:28.95]Among the other eco-holidays,
[00:31.06]you can have a taste of the gaucho lifestyle,
[00:33.60]staying and working on a cattle ranch
[00:35.48]on the borders of Chile and Argentina,
[00:37.78]join archeologists in the North African desert,
[00:40.82]or live the life of a religious hermit
[00:43.70]on an uninhabited island
[00:44.99]off the west coast of Ireland.
[00:47.85]But if roughing it isn't quite to your taste,
[00:50.39]perhaps you'd like to use your holiday
[00:52.63]to learn a local craft or skill?
[00:55.34]And these days it seems you can learn
[00:57.35]almost anything,
[00:59.06]from Italian cookery in Tuscany,
[01:01.38]to riding Lusitano horses in Northern Portugal.
[01:04.90]We caught up with journalist Isabelle Fahey,
[01:07.91]who had just spent two weeks
[01:09.63]on a yoga retreat in Ulpotha,
[01:11.84]in the Sri Lankan jungle.
[01:13.89]Isablle, describe the experience to us.
