I took a whirl down the Salthill Prom with a Galway Girl ... and this was our view

Thank you @catmcgalway for the 'Galway Girl'. Have been listening to it all the time

ciaran_pope: Great song. Now listen to the N17 by the saw doctors.

iriswildeboer: @ciaran_pope Love it! Had to google the N17 but that must be a pretty beautiful ride up to Sligo and back. Do you have any more Irish 'must hear' suggestions? I'm slowly creating an Ireland list in spotify to dream away

ciaran_pope: Have a listen to Imelda May. She has a couple of albums both are very good. Not very traditional ... Let me know what you think

iriswildeboer: @ciaran_pope I like it a lot. She reminds me of a dutch singer, Caro Emerald. Have you heard of her? Same style I guess, both jazzy burlesque ❤

ciaran_pope: No. But I will look Caro up tonight. Thank you for that.

iriswildeboer: Lol, guess it's just a bit colder than I'm used to here. But I want to see the ocean too, must be really cold and windy near the docks and beach. Scarf, hat, gloves, sweater...i'll be prepared. Guess the excitement of just being there could keep me warm enough though

iriswildeboer: That was for @catmcgalway ... forgot to tag ...

catmcgalway: If your wrapped up warm there is no better place then the prom, with big waves and the infamous diving board, and then there are lots of interesting cages and pubs to get warmed up in. You will have a great time

gregskiii: Mooie foto's Ik ben gaan volgen.....Ik hoop dat je die van mij ook leuk vindt..... (Oprichter van @igholland)

catmcgalway: Hi not long now until you arrive, if ur not too busy snapping maybe we could do lunch

iriswildeboer: @catmcgalway I would love to I'll arrive later in the day on saturday but I have all day on sunday the 9th. Would love to meet you

catmcgalway: Great we could do lunch then walk the prom my email is McAndrewcatherine@yahoo.co.uk if u email me ur number ill text u closes the time and we'll make a plan

Fiocchi T1 12 gauge.

This summer was the first and only time I ever got to shoot a (shot)gun. A pretty amazing thing to do And don't worry, it was only a few cans and bottles. But I wouldn't mind doing it again and then try clays

sideslipped: I heard that's haunted

iriswildeboer: @sideslipped Yeah that's true! Long John or something haunts it :) They always leave the attic light on every night

sideslipped: Yes that's him...I went out with a good friend of Lisa's for 6 years,she lives right near there...I heard all sorts of stories...and about always leaving the light on...creepy

iriswildeboer: #seeireland

iriswildeboer: @sideslipped Amazing this small world :-) Caroline is going back home in february and I'll be going to Galway then. I'm still thinking about spending a day or two in Birr. If so, I'll definitely look you up

sideslipped: Please do,would be great to hear from ya.....hit me up on fb if ya like

iriswildeboer: @sideslipped I'll let you know if and when I'm in Birr. Have a drink at the Chestnut?

My photo on the wall!!! #IrisgoesIreland

Yesterday I finally saw my photo up on the wall. When I arrived, Food for Thought was still closed. Got a bit nervous there. I didn't come all the way to look through the window :-) When they opened up I had a lot of space to look at all the beautiful artwork. @Ciaran_Pope and @AidanCoughlan created an amazing selection. If you get a chance, do go see it, it's beautiful!

@CatMcAndrew met me there for lunch and the place got crowded. I noticed people looking at the photos, made me feel really proud :-) Thanks again for this amazing experience Ciaran and Aidan and everyone who helped me get there.

iriswildeboer: #winter #nature #freeze

queenbusybee: Waiit wait, you have to tell me more. Are you a bunch of irl friends who meet in Ireland or are you a bunch of organized igers who meet up? I'm really curious about these "instagramwalk" travels I read about here on Instagram.

iriswildeboer: @queenbusybee Hihi we haven't met irl. I'm from Holland and we organise instagramwalks on a regular basis here :) We only met on IG and once in a while someone organises a instawalk in their city and a lot of IG'ers show up and we walk, talk an take pictures that we put online with a certain hashtag. Now I'm going to Ireland for a few days and I would love to meet some local IG'ers so I asked for an instawalk :-)

iriswildeboer: @queenbusybee Great way to meet new people with the same interest :)

carina_4: Lovely picture Iris! Have a nice trip to Galway! I hope to go next year

iriswildeboer: @carina_4 Thank you so much Hope you can make it next year, Ireland is great isn't it

carina_4: I can only tell from photos and the nice irish people I've talked to , haven't been there yet but always wanted to go. Now is the time The nature looks fantastic!

My view this morning on my way to the airport #IrisgoesIreland .

.

.

After a long day at the airport it's now looking good :) I'm on the 20:45 flight. A small delay of six hours. Just really grateful I could get on a later flight. The first flight got cancelled because of the snow❄

.

.

.

Hopefully the next flight won't have a delay since I've got just twenty minutes to get of the plane, run out the airport and find and board the bus that brings me further. .

.

.

I asked for an adventure and the universe listened

iriswildeboer: @gianthogweed Really hope to meet you too. Will you be able to meet on sunday?

gianthogweed: Oh! I've just seen that the insta-meet in cancelled! Maybe we'll meet in the new year! X

carina_4: Oh no! Hope you'll reach there as soon as possible.

iriswildeboer: @gianthogweed No that is another instameet. That was planned for the 15th. We are just getting together on sunday and walk around Galway and especially Galway Bay Of course snapping a lot but it was never the "official" instameet.

gianthogweed: No didn't know about it! Well it didn't stay in my head if I did! Am going up to Galway 2morrow!

norinneb: Love it!!

iriswildeboer: @norinneb Thank you☺

Just had a great evening/night with my sister, @josjewildeboer. And what do you do besides drinking, talking and laughing? Yes, you edit photos together Once an addict.... Can't believe it's 4:19 now. When I wake up I'll have six kids instead of three. They all have a friend sleeping over. But it's gonna be a good day tomorrow, first some work (dtp) and later we're going to the opening of a great art exhibition. Looking forward to it. First I need to get me some shuteye

Have you ever been to Ireland, with its rolling hills so green? Sure‘n it’s the fairest land that ever has been seen and those green hills of Ireland may be very far away but they’re close to every Irish heart no matter what the day. #IrisgoesIreland

Spending the night reminiscing about the two wonderful days I had in Ireland. It went by too fast. This is me, near Galway city, on a beautiful place which I never would've found if it wasn't for @catmcgalway. All the credits for the photo go to @catmcgalway as well. I think it's the only pic of me in Ireland, I know I'm better on the other side of the camera #IrisgoesIreland

nialljules: Is that the spot where @catmcgalway made ya walk over the slippery seaweed??

iriswildeboer: @nialljules LOL No this was the spot where I had to climb huge rocks (I was afraid of falling btw). But it was well worth it

nialljules: Oh the rock climbing bit. She's mad about rocks

carina_4: Lovely picture!

Got the best present tonight to keep me warm now that my boiler is broken. The drink itself keeps me warm and since it's Irish...

I can't believe that by this time next week I'll be in an Irish pub

Thank you @bregisback!

ciaran9: Good stuff for a winter's night. Went to the distillery museum in Tullamore a few weeks ago, an interesting blend of history and whiskey tasting.

iriswildeboer: @ciaran9 That sounds like a great idea :-) But for now I'm just tasting without the history ;)

iriswildeboer: @cabman Thank you :)

hwdg: Hoe doe je dat? Alleen met Instagram?

iriswildeboer: @hwdg Nee hoor HW, ik gebruik zeer zelden instagram voor het bewerken van foto's, dat doe ik meestal in andere apps. Dit heb ik gedaan met colorsplash. Ik gebruik voor iedere foto camera+ om te croppen en eventueel andere edits te doen.

hwdg: Zal ik ook eens proberen! Dank voor je advies!

garytraynor: That's lovely
