As they were on their way down to Wellington they took routes that were not so badly damaged. On the way they were picking up people that were stranded and walking wildly on the streets. Jack took turns with the people on the bus to drive and it took them all day.

Then as night had come upon them all they had reached Wellington with the rest of the buses with the left over people.

Each and one of them were waiting and counting their blessings in hope that they would make it in time on the ferry to a safer place haven that was waiting for them in Nelson. As they went through the city of Wellington it was in a blazed. There were damaged cars and tops of buildings that had fallen to the ground.

It was a city of destruction. Where people were wondering around and trying to reach the city wharf. Time was ticking and there was a loud warning sign to get out of the city as soon as possible.

Jack and everyone arrived safely at the wharf. They all went aboard onto the big interislander ship.

All the buses had turned up and everyone was rushed on board. Then all the search team had declared that the city and the whole top of the North Island had been evacuated.

They then left the wharf and went straight to Nelson. All they could hear in the distance was the sound of the sirens going off and the coast guards surrounding the big interislander ship. The waves were at its high and everyone was wondering if they were ever going to make it on to the shore of Nelson.

The time was ticking away and it was getting closer and closer for another strike of the big earthquake to take the whole of the north island. They finally made it to Nelson and the big earthquake started and everyone felt the earth move and that’s when everyone headed away from the sea and dock.

Jack and his friends were glad that they had made it to Nelson and all the other people that were accounted for were lucky to have made it as well. Then they all went to the camp side that was set up for them to stay.
