Interview At The US Embassy in Bern

November 22, 2016/0 Comments/in November 2016, Pacific Crest Trail 2017, Pre Trail Thoughts, Switzerland /by Heidi

I am in Bern today to get my 6 month US visa.

There is quite a bunch of people at the Embassy. Luckily I am here early, somewhat 40 minutes before my official appointment for my 09.30 am interview. (I am so Swiss!).

It is like at the Airport here. Police officers scanning me, forcing me to take off my belt and shoes. They want my phone and my water bottle.

My turn for the interview. Nice guy, very efficient. I hand him my passport.

First Post On New PCT Blog

Here we go.

The first blog post in this PCT 2017 blog.

This is awkward. Feels weird.

I am going to hike the Pacific Crest Trail next year (2017) and I am going to blog about it.

Not from day 1 when the hike starts at the Mexican border in Campo (California). But as of now. Five month pre-hike time. Because, you would not think how much there is to organize and how much “head scratching” there is. Could be really interesting to blog about all this.
