2 travels:1) When he was 17 he left Venice (with father and uncle) heading to China.
2) He came back from China 17 years later. He arrives back at the port of Hormuz after 20 years.
He made 13 journeys (or 14?):
TRIP TO CHINA
1) Venice to Acre
2) Acre to Hormuz
3) Hormuz back to Kenman ("ships not seaworty")
4) Kerman to Kashgar (the "Silk Road", passing by the Pamir Mountains -- near the Everest)
5) Kashgar (city of open markets at Polo's time as well as nowadays) to Shangdu, where the Polos meet emperor Kublai Khan. This journey was through 2 deserts: Taklamakan and Gobi;
6) Shangdu to "Khanbalik"(City of Khan), today known as Beijing;
---- Marco Polo stays in China for 17 years ---
BACK TO VENICE
7) From AMOY, the Polo family heads to Persia, to accompany a princess who should marry on their destination. They stop at SUMATRA and stay there for a long time.
8) SUMATRA to Sri Lanka
9) Sri Lanka to India (several coastal cities)
10) ARRIVAL AT HORMUZ (by sea, although they refused to take this trip 20 years before. They probably had now better boats (:-)
11) By land, from HORMUZ all the way north to the BLACK SEA (Trebizand), after having escorted the princess to her new home.
12) On his way home, M. Polo passes by Constantinopla (Istanbul today)
13) Arrives in VENICE.
VENICE and GENOA were trading rivals. Marco Polo is captured during a war between the 2 cities and is sent to prision in GENOA, where he meets Rusticello de Pisa, who would later write all Polo's adventures.
After being released, he goes back to Venice, gets married, has children and never leaves Venice until he dies.
Would you consider his trip back to Venice a 14th Journey?
