Last week I had the amazing opportunity to visit CERN in Switzerland and see some of the experiments that go on and well as a tour of the complex. This trip was organised by our Physics Department society: PhySoc. The great thing was that it was very much subsidised partly by out department and also some by the Institute of Physics (IoP). There was about 18 of us and we drove all the way there on the minibus with designated drivers through France and then to Switzerland. We took the euro tunnel and overall it took about 12 hours, I have to say the trip as much fun as the tour of CERN itself. Mainly because of the scenery and also the fact that your stuck with people in the age vehicle for 12 hours you get to learn a lot of new things.
