*Listen and read:
Rana: What are you reading, Injy?
Injy: Oh hi, Rana. It’s my travel diary. I want to remember my family ’s
vacation in Croatia a few years ago.
Rana: That’s a good idea. What was your favorite thing about the vacation?
Injy: I think it was visiting the Marco Polo Museum.
Rana: Really? Where is that?
Injy: It’s on an island in Croatia called Korcula. We took a trip there. It’s

a really interesting museum – all about the travels of Marco Polo.
Rana: Who was Marco Polo?
Injy: He was an Italian explorer and one of the first people from the
West to visit China. He went there in the 13th century and wrote a
diary about his experiences. It’s called The Travels of Marco Polo.
Rana: How did people get to China in those days? It’s very far away. You
couldn’t just fly there, or travel by train!
Injy: It was very difficult – the journey took years! Marco Polo went on
a long voyage by sea. He sailed by ship from Venice to Korcula,
and then on to Iran. When he got to Hormuz, he stopped and went
across the desert. He rode a camel all the way to China!
Rana: Wow, what an adventure!
Injy: Yes, and imagine arriving in China almost 800 years ago! It was so
different then. The museum had a lot of things from ancient China. It
really made the story of Marco Polo come to life.
