June 2004, a visit to South Island

The Athomen decide to head to New Zealand for a wee break. Jim & Stephen head over on the 18th, Nick & Jess join them at midnight on the 19th. Alas, Stephen & Jim had under a week, but Jess & Nick are stayed on until the 30th to visit her Grandparents in Nelson. With friends Zol and Robyn now based in Christchurch & some NZ work commitments, the Athomen seem to dropping in more often.
