Original Narrative: DELPHI LODGE (CONNEMARA) : After a row of more than an hour, we landed at the little pier at the entrance of the river Bondarragh, and passing a small fishing village, we went along  the river for about a mile and a half, until we reached this much-talked-of lodge of Delphi. Was it called so from any fancied resemblance to the oracular   mountain in Greece? As far as a picture can give an idea of scenery, I have some notion of the far- famed-throne of the solar god, but I could trace no  similarity. I confess, altogether, I was greatly disappointed in this place.  I think the mountains fine; I consider the side of the hills, as they rise from the  little lake, singularly picturesque and beautiful  for as the ranges of rock ascend, they assume a tortuous and wavy form, and between each wave of the uprising stratification, the fresh green grass of the young summer seemed to grow luxuriantly; there were then before you, as in manifold variegations, the green and the grey, tinting the whole sides of the mountains. There are two lakes in the valley, one close by the lodge, and the vale, a  little above the  small pleasure-ground, taking a turn at nearly right-angles, contains the other. By ascending a green eminence you can see both lakes ; the upper and  larger one, drawing its waters from the magnificent Muilrea, must present sublime views of the gorges of that noble mountain.    Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
