Blue Olive (1001 Nights) - Moncton

Blue Olive (Une Mille et Une Nuits or 1001 Nights) is a North African cuisine restaurant in Moncton.

Very stylish interior.

I had the Tunisian Royal Ojja, which was a mix of tomatoes, spice, lab meatballs, scallops, and mussels in a terrine with spices and some couscous in the middle. Divine!

Cinta Ria - Moncton

I had lunch at Cinta Ria, a Malaysian restaurant in Moncton. It was fast and delicious!

 I had the curry vegetarian soup, mango salad, and an order of roti. Just the right heat level for the soup and very enjoyable. Would eat here again.

Digby to Saint John Ferry - MV Fundy Rose

The Digby to Saint John Ferry on the Fundy Rose is a good way of saving time and relaxing while moving. It is also named after Rose Fortune, a ex-slave woman whom after relocating to Annapolis Royal after the American Revolution started a business transporting and safeguarding goods and luggage and eventually became the first female police office in Canada protecting the town and docks from nether-do wells.

 The ferry was launched in 1999 and is spacious and modern.

 There is a cafeteria, cafe, and giftshop onboard as well as an internet cafe and movie/tv viewing area. Well worth the cost to save time to go from Nova Scotia to New Brunswick or the other way.

Sackville, New Brunswick

Very near the provincial border to Nova Scotia, Sackville is now a university town (Mount Allison) with several entrepreneurial businesses. Pre-colonial era it was the Siknikt region of the Mi'kmaq and during the French colonial period it built several villages that cohabited among the Mi'kmaq inhabited areas. After the Acadian expulsion, British colonists started inhabiting the area and the township of Sackville was established in 1765.

George Stanley, designer of the Canadian flag, was a longtime resident of Sackville. Below is a statue with a fierce bandanna.

 There is a robust weekly market, several restaurants, two bookstores, game store, and wonderful marshland park. There are also many historical sites nearby and Amy's Used Bookstore in Amherst (largest used bookstore in Atlantic Canada) is a short drive away.
