An unrelated question about The Bus: it looks like route 52 goes across
the middle of the island, taking a bit more than an hour and a half to do
so.

Is that likely to be a scenic trip, or a boring one?
---------------------------------


That part is boring until you get out of the city just 
before the north side town called Haleiwa.  The bus then 
goes across the north side of the island and down the 
east side after that.  Those are the areas you'd want to 
get on/off a lot.  It's pretty.  Once you get to the first 
big town (Kaneohe) It begins to get boring again.  Big 
city and all that.

Go to Haleiwa, then get off and check out the town.  Get 
back on and go 7 miles or so (a .5 mile or so past the 
grocery store after Waimea Bay; it's the only grocery 
store after Haleiwa) and get off again.  Walk the bike path 
in the same direction as you were going on the bus for a 
mile or so and go down the walking paths to the beach.  You 
can get back on at a lot of places on the north shore.  If 
you go on the east side first, reverse these directions. :-)  

The waves are big today:
