best travel place

The combination of Polynesian yenkee-O'ahu, the island in the archipelago hawaiiano which is also the capital, Honolulu, reproduces small-scale melting pot the United States. Who has never been in America, can not fail to move from the capital to admire squares, churches, parks and skyscrapers. About instead of the western metropolis has already seen in abundance, always in Honolulu may choose to cross chinatown to breathe a little 'of authentic Asian atmosphere.

Even outside the capital, areas to be explored are many. That is why it is advisable to rent a car and decide their itineraries. Staying in a resort or in one of the many luxury hotels of Waikiki beach and nottambula can be a good way to enjoy life hawaiiana. On the promenade of Waikiki, the boutiques of big names alternate with markets that sell objects of various kinds: shells, bracelets of wood or bamboo, handbags shaped coconuts, as well as the traditional shirts fiorate. Even the rooms are always full. The discopub students to sing karaoke. The clubs of fans of hip hop music. The beach, however, is not the best. Tight and crowded, hinders both relaxation and snorkelling.

Moreover, it is doubtful Waikiki paradise for bathers hawaiiani. Whether along the east coast that close to the western one another a series of wide white sandy beaches. The only difference is the type of attendance. The eastern part of O'ahu is generally richer, so full of villas and parks such as Hanauma Bay, often cited, rightly, as it is heaven for snorkelling. Or, always on the east coast there are a number of small cliffs beaten by surfers always ready to refine your own style on the table.

The west coast is much less opulent, but from the point of view of the beaches is not burdened by competition from anyone. Distese white sand, in fact, open in the middle of a thick vegetation of bushes and palm trees. In addition, only along the highway leading west are bisteccherie and fishmongers to take away preparing meat dishes or po'ke delicious. For those who have not known, po'ke the dish is typical of Hawaii. It can be a basis of tuna, squid or octopus, strictly raw and mixed with onions, red algae and, if it pleases, a little 'of chilli. Apparently not very inviting, is decidedly good, in each version. The second specialty in the islands is "granita rainbow", or a giant mountain of crushed ice first and then colored with fruit syrups.

But the only restaurant where you need real food is local Ono. Open from 5 to 8, customers usually choose what to order while they are lined up outside the local economy. The specialties are the Kalua pork, laulau, a involtino pork, fish, rice and spices cooked in the leaves of taro, soup and fish eggs lomi, or all'insalata, with tomatoes and onions. Everything always accompanied by a puree of taro, a plant that hawaiiana, cooked, it becomes brown. Not particularly inviting but unproven, and certainly healthy.
