Quirky start to Finland
Today I flew from stylish Sweden to what, on first impressions, felt like funky Finland.
The flight from Stockholm to Helsinki was less than an hour per favour of a strong tail wind. I settled into my airbnb and then quickly ducked out to the local supermarket to buy breakfast provisions.
What I hadn't expected was this funky little robot-like entity outside the main door of the shop.
Upon enquiring I discover it is in fact a little remote controlled refrigerated delivery vehicle. Order your groceries online, supply your address and guess what ? This piece of magic will deliver them to your door.
I've been reliably informed that sometimes they get stuck en route and random passers-by are encouraged to read the illuminated distress message and gently put them back on track and away it goes again.
I haven't seen one beetling along a footpath near me yet, but be assured I'm on the lookout !
