A collection of photos of friends in Auckland – Shane (again) and his cat Lilly. Then Caitlin, and Alan's cat Eddie. Then James and Yvonne and their children, John, Marie, more Lilly and finally Greg – he was sick on my last day.

There's more to come from this sequence – America's Cup yachts off Rangitoto, and pictures from the Auckland Sky Tower. Check back again in a week or two.
