The cost of comfort ...

 












 



I subscribe to a number of daily deal sites and occasionally nab a bargain. Earlier this week, we decided to do a day trip down to Helensburg to use our discount Symbio Wildlife Park entry vouchers.

Given the cost of fuel and Elmer's thirst, we did consider driving making the 350(ish) km round trip in our far more fuel-efficient Hyundai.  It was a brief consideration.  Comfort won out!  Our day's adventure probably cost an extra $50 in fuel but it was definitely money worth spent.

We were up at 5:00am and departed at 5:40am - and then spent 20 minutes filling up at the extremely slow petrol pump.  The sign-writer wasn't kidding!  Travel through Sydney was also slow, as expected.  We arrived at our destination at 9:45am so were well pleased with our decision to travel in comfortable seats!
