Sicily · Taormina 🌋🍋

A day marinating in golden Sicilian sunshine As the train chugged into Taormina-Giardini: *"Ah yes, the luxury tax station - where €5 espressos and €50 cab rides are the entry fee to paradise"* My tourist starter pack: 🌊 Salt-crusted sunglasses (designer, obviously) 🍋 Lemon-print everything (dress, tote, soul) 💸 That subtle panic when the credit card gets declined 🦵 Legs screaming "WHY so many inclines?!" Taormina's magic trick: Making you happily overpay for: ✓ 387 near-identical photos of flower walls ✓ Granitas that cost more than your first car ✓ The privilege of saying "When I was in Taormina..." P.S. Pro tip: The €25 "authentic local experience" is just getting lost in an alley and pretending you meant to do that ✨ #SicilySurcharge #BougainvilleaOrBust #BudgetNeverMetHer
