Our trip to CERN (1)

It is the 11th of July, and the day has finally arrived.  We have just arrived back at the hotel from a spectacular day! 

Although we had to get up at silly o'clock, the early morning get up was worth it! We left the hotel at around 20 to eight to catch a tram, that would end up taking us to the European Organization for Nuclear Research (aka CERN!) 

When we arrived in our teams, we were welcomed with a talk by Dr Marc Goulette. In this talk we learned about the introduction and set up of the CERN facility.

After the initial introduction, we were then taken to the CMS facility. We were extremely lucky that we had the opportunity to have a tour of the CMS facility, and to actually see the CMS in person!
