“There were none! . It was a long winded boring drive around stopping at a chocolate shop for 15 mins then listening to a run down of the earthquake in 1931. We finally saw some art deco homes. Trip could have been condensed into one hour instead of two. Tour narrator spent a lot of time telling the bus driver how to drive! Waste of 2 hours”
