Until the Europeans came, HONOLULU
was insignificant; soon so many foreign ships were frequenting
its waters that it had become Kamehameha's capital, and it remains
the economic center of the island. The city covers a long (if
narrow) strip of southern Oahu, but downtown
is a manageable size, and a lot quieter than its glamorous image
might suggest. The tourist hotels, and most of Honolulu's hustle,
are concentrated among the skyscrapers of very distinct WAIKIKI
, a couple of miles east.
The setting is beautiful, right on the Pacific and
backed by dramatic cliffs and the extinct volcanoes of Punchbowl
(a military cemetery) and Diamond Head ; but
then beauty is not so rare a commodity on Hawaii, and you can
see this sort of scenery in plenty of other places without a city
in the middle of it. What attracts most visitors to stay in Honolulu,
and especially Waikiki, is the sheer hedonism
of shopping, eating and generally hanging out in the sun. It's
also the center of an exemplary public transportation
system, facilitating exploration of the whole island.
