After arriving in Palermo, the detailed preparation, such as remembering the pizza cart on the way to Palermo Cathedral, is impressive. The golden illustration of Jesus on the exterior of Palermo Cathedral catches the eye, and the 고민 (worry) about buying magnets at the souvenir shop is something any traveler can relate to.

When visiting Church of San Cataldo, the focus is on the external scenery rather than the interior, and the emotional changes felt due to the many people on the street are honestly captured. The arancini and cannoli tasted during free time are representative snacks of Italy, and the vivid description of their taste stands out. In particular, the description of the extreme sweetness of the cannoli adds to the enjoyment.

In Palermo, we marveled at the freshness of the lemon slush and orange juice, and detailed the experience of eating fried squid, fried shrimp, and boiled octopus at the seafood stalls within the market. The stir-fried mussels tasted with companions were also impressive, and small episodes, such as borrowing and wearing hats bought while shopping in the hot weather, added to the enjoyment of the trip. The recommendation for the gelato experience at Primo Canto Gelateria and the taste of the latte at Pedro’s Coffee & Food, visited on the way back, also catch the eye.

The cruise experience is also indispensable. The swimming pool where attendance is checked daily, the process of becoming addicted to gambling, and the different dress codes each day and the ‘White Night’ party all showcase the specialness of a cruise trip. In particular, waiting to see the disco night that opens at 1 AM makes one feel the passion for travel. More detailed information about various meals and events can be found more richly in the original article.
