Rik knows some quality people. Among them are Des and family, who run the Auhof - sociable (family friendly) self-catering apartments in the village of Niederau, Austria. They let us stay for a few days on condition that if we had fun we would tell our friends about them. Well, we had fun :o)
February in the Alps can only mean one thing - skiing, snowboarding, hot tubs, and chilling out with beer. Which is of course four things if you're counting. So with Tahoe snowboarding looming (look out for another exciting installment soon), Rik and I got some practice in with our new friends.
