The Sydney Harbour Bridge had dominated the skyline of Sydney since 1930. Once called ‘the iron lung of Sydney’ it took 75% of the city’s workforce to build it and cost 16 lives. Historical facts aside it’s one beautiful bridge! Built back when beauty in industrial endeavors were [...]]]> http://www.travelwithmyfriend.com/climbing-the-sydney-harbour-bridge/feed/ 0 http://www.travelwithmyfriend.com/the-stones-bar-koh-phi-phi/ http://www.travelwithmyfriend.com/the-stones-bar-koh-phi-phi/#comments Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:01:25 +0000 Matt and Debz http://www.travelwithmyfriend.com/?p=1043 If you’ve ever been to Koh Phi Phi in Thailand you’ll know it’s famous for it’s beach bars and party lifestyle. The beach bars are also known for being full of crazy drunk tourists burning themselves on fire engulfed skipping ropes.

The heat of Asia was quickly squashed by the cool and rainy conditions as we came in to land in Australia.

The modern and vibrate city of Kuala Lumpur, affectionately shortened to ‘KL’. Our cute little ‘Anjung guesthouse’ happened to be next to all the other guesthouses we’d ever found online or in our guide book. Right near many descent budget restaurants and just [...]]]> http://www.travelwithmyfriend.com/kuala-lumpur-malaysia/feed/ 0 http://www.travelwithmyfriend.com/cameron-highlands-malaysia/ http://www.travelwithmyfriend.com/cameron-highlands-malaysia/#comments Thu, 17 Dec 2009 03:09:46 +0000 Matt and Debz http://www.mattanddebz.com/?p=1014 ‘A breath of fresh air’ is the perfect phrase when describing the Cameron Highlands region of malaysia. Both literally and metaphorically. Coming from the baking heat and high humidity of Penang, we were greeted with cool breezes, chilly temperatures when the sun was hiding and a much more relaxed atmosphere. Trekking is what it’s all [...]]]> http://www.travelwithmyfriend.com/cameron-highlands-malaysia/feed/ 1 http://www.travelwithmyfriend.com/penang-malaysia/ http://www.travelwithmyfriend.com/penang-malaysia/#comments Sun, 13 Dec 2009 06:09:23 +0000 Matt and Debz http://www.mattanddebz.com/?p=1011 After a very long day and night of travel from Phuket in Thailand to Penang in Malaysia we hopped off train and on to the ferry over to the island. The colonial town of Georgetown is a friendly, cheap and down right tasty place to stay.

One of the larges islands on the west coast. A 90 minute boat went by in what felt like seconds and we were soon at Sanctuary Hostel. We for ourselves a bungalow for the night.

As it turned out it was the right amount of time considering our experience! We arrived by boat from Krabi town as we’d missed the early boat straight from Railay.

Why better place in Thailand than the islands on the west coast. We started on the mainland beaches of  Railay in Krabi. Some amazing beaches and arguably the world’s best rock climbing accessible to all.
