I have arrived in Ruoholahti just in time for a gentle stroll from the metro to the vaccination centre.

I turn right off the main road and down Selkämerenkatu. Just before I cross over the bridge I see a wall decoration and photograph it. The bridge looks as Mediterranean as it did three months ago when I got my first vaccination.

In fifteen minutes time I will have had my second, which means that in five days time I will have my Covid-19 passport which ought to mean that I can travel freely within Europe.

Let’s see how that works.

It will not allow me to travel to Britain or India for the foreseeable future. Tallinn, here I come!
