Well.

Initially, I wanted to write about my feet today.

As I seem to have a problem with them. Even before I start in Campo.

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.
