"U is for Ultimo"

Up a bit late last night (surprise, surprise) so Up a bit late this morning. Hey, I am on holidays after all.

Wore my blue t-shirt as it is the closest thing I own to Ultramarine, even though it will clash a little with my Unakite necklace and earings.

Up and at the day, Up the stairs of the bus, Up the stairs at the station, Up the stairs in the train, Up the escalator at the end of the Underpass to Railway Square. This day is looking Up already and I haven’t even got to Ultimo.

First stop the ABC and their café for a rather Unusual, Unexpected, Unique mint slice with my coffee. It wasn’t a mint slice, it was a green coconut slice.

My poor feet were taking Umbrage at my new shoes so it was a slow walk Up the Undulating footpath of Harris Street to Ultimo’s other landmark the Powerhouse Museum.

Saw two Utterly wonderful exhibits. Firstly "A Fine Possession" which is an exhibition that celebrates the central place of jewellery in our lives, from antiquity to the present-day. It includes some Unusual “gems” such as beetles legs and hummingbird wings.

Up to the Black Star Pastry Café for a late lunch – the Ubiquitous steak sandwich and a Lemmy lemonade.

Back to the the "Recollect" area which is currently displaying over 800 shoes from their wonderful shoe collection, which they started in 1942 by buying the Joseph Box Collection in England.

My Upset feet meant I will have to come back and have a second look at both exhibits, especially since the “Undressed: 350 Years of Underwear in Fashion” exhibition doesn’t open until the end of March.
