Angkor, Cambodia, in Travel Photo Galleries.

After a mere 20 hour coach ride into the parched north from Santiago, check into another eccentric hostel, this one run by a grumpy old man who keeps a vast number of parakeets and a tiny white dog which wraps itself amorously round my ankle at the least opportunity.

As we crept closer, it turned out to be a dense shoal of countless tiny black baitfish, being scattered and harried by hundreds of Barracuda, Napoleon Wrasse, Red Snapper and Tuna.
And sharks. Lots of sharks.
