Day 2-Arrival in Rome, 9-10-14

We landed on time.  There were really 1000 people in the line to check passports, it took us over an hour to get through that line, then we got our luggage and walked up and down trying to find the Hilton for three hours! Everyone told us the wrong directions including the help desk and most only spoke Italian. So when we finally arrived at the desk at the Hilton (by practically climbing over a wall) (we spied it from the bus and yelled to get out right there) our other friend who landed 3 hours after us was there AND the hotel was actually right across the street from where we landed. We understood much later on that the mix-up was because there were two Hiltons at that airport and some people were sending us to the other one.  Not the best of beginnings.

We stayed over-night at the airport and met the group next morning and traveled by our bus to our agritourisimo (pictured above).
