Coastal Drive

Not quite the day we had planned as apparently Croma and Hunstanton are not that close to each other, whoops, but on the plus side I can guarantee the coastal drive is very nice and something we had not done since we have lived here. 

The Santa Fe was yet again great on fuel, the trip display telling you how many miles you have to go to a petrol station is very reassuring and eliminates the panic you have when you see the fuel gauge going down.  And as a mum travelling with children this will be a feature I will miss.

We had Gary's mum with us and the car was to high for her to be able to climb up into but Joshua's toilet step soon solved that problem and with the grab handles we had her hoping in and out like no ones business.  She was sat in the back with the children and had plenty of room and a good view out of the windows.

Picnic eaten and a wander on the beach it was time to drive home.  Now the only problem hear was that everyone in Norfolk had also had the same idea to go to the coast for the day.  So as you can imagine the drive home was nose to tail traffic.  Lots of hot children and frustrated parents. Us, nope the Santa Fe's air conditioning was great, the car cooled down really quickly and the temperature in the car was great.  Now Gary loves a cold car me give me heated seats any day so we do normally disagree over the cars temperature but the blowers in the car enable him to be cold with the blowers on and on my side with the blowers off it was lovely.  Not sure how to explain it but even though Gary's air vents were open on him it didn't affect me in the passenger seat.  Which is obviously down to someone taking the time to think about the passengers needs in the design of the car.
