Our trip to Ulm
a report written by Chantelle Clohessy

1,2,3...up the stairs we go of the highest church steeple in the world. This is how our day in Ulm started; with a visit to the spectacular Ulmer Munster. Although only some of us found the endurance to conquer the mighty stairs, we were richly rewarded with a breathtaking view of Ulm from the 70m mark.
Besides visiting the cathedral we were treated to an insightful talk by a representative of the Green Party in Ulm. We also had a visit to the local newspaper, Sudwest Presse, where we learnt about the newspaper industry. Thank you to Sudwest Presse for the hospitable manner in which we were received and for the wonderful goodie bags.

It was such a great honour going to Ulm, the birthplace of Albert Einstein. He was such a great man as he was able to look deeper into how things work. I have studied his work in Physics during my science degree and now, thanks to this trip, I have a greater appreciation for his work and his contribution to the scientific world. Thank you to everyone for making this day happen. It was a wonderful experience and I will never forget it.
