I can see both sides. I would be annoyed that my friend didn't want to travel two hours to meet me after I'd come all the way from the US. At the same time, if I make plans to see someone one on one near my home and they change those plans so that I am now driving two hours and hanging out with their family, I'd be annoyed at that too - though it sounds like there's a different cultural expectation over there. I hope you guys can find some kind of middle ground and visit with each other. Maybe there's somewhere that's one hour away from both of you that you could safely get to on your own?
