Visiting Quaint seaport Ayvilik was my first stop renting a car for a month after spending almost 3 weeks in Istanbul. The Car Rental company did not notice the license plate frame was broken when I rented the car and the license plate on the front fell out and got lost in the small town, my first few days on the road. The people at the small family owned hotel helped me look for the license plate and also called the rental company to ask advice. I went to the police station to report the lost license plate so there would be no problem on the rest of my trip. The police were very nice and patient and they called the rental company and also the traffic police and they confirmed that I could just continue on my trip which I did. I was stopped about eight times for this problem by the traffic police and after explaining the situation each time they let me continue my trip with no problem. This little town is kind of interesting with it small winding cobblestone streets and it was good to get out of the hustle and bustle of Istanbul.
