Day 1 Arrival

I am here! (Although obviously not quite as this has been posted later)

My first impression is that it is so humid! My only other experience is that of Hong Kong. Stepping of the plane the heat hits you as if you were next to an open oven door. There's also a lot of glass in the airport - glass doors, glass walls - like a green house. (At the least the arrival bit is anyway) So much glass that a little 4 year boy tried to walk through it! Ha! Ha! (I shouldn't laugh but when you think about it it is kinda funny)

Apparently, i have also arrived at the same time as Batman. I say this because as i entered the main greeting hall for arrivals, (I kid you not about this) there was guy dressed in a black suit, with a moustache holding up a sign saying, 'Batman'. I regret not asking if he was called 'Albert' .(Batman's butler/sidekick)

My first task was to find the bus that would take me to CERN. After much wandering, (lugging around a big suitcase) I eventually found the bus stop on the top level of the airport. Unfortunately i didn't have any change!

Luckily, (it always amazes me how generous and helpful human beings can be) I asked an old Swiss later for help and not only did she help me buy a ticket, she also gave me the change and made sure i knew exactly how many stops i had to go to reach CERN!

Thank you kind Swiss lady! You got my HST Adventure off to a happy start!
