This is a haven for all romantics, for it was here in 1932 that the first box of heart-shaped chocolates came into being. We continued on our way, passing the turn-off at Blacks Harbour leading to the quaint ferry that plies the waters of the Bay of Fundy to Grand Manan Island . The memories flooded back. It was meant to be a surprise trip that wasn't such a surprise. We spent a couple of nights on Grand Manan a few years back, loving the sense of peace and solitude that filtered through the light mist playing with the sunlight.
Romance is so much more than just a quick trip to an inn or hotel.
The foundation for romance is laid in memories of time spent together. We could never pass by the Saint John area without a short diversion into Rothesay . This beautiful village was used as one of the settings for the motion picture Children of a Lesser God . We often stop and stroll along the streets, peering past huge hardwood trees drooping to the earth in green foliage, catching glimpses of century old homes that create a sense of romance just in their architecture. To us, Moncton is the heart and soul of New Brunswick .
