Arrived at Prague Airport and did the new biometric tests and queued for 1hr 30 minute to get through the new system for non EU citizens entering the EU. Jacqueline with her Irish 🇮🇪 passport sailed through which was annoying as she had to wait for me. We then took a uber with friends to Hilton Prague old town hotel for start of our trip. After freshening up we hit the town to view the wonderful sights of Prague at night before Christmas. Had a meal in a boutique bohemian restaurant before going onto the oldest brewery in Prague
