The Flight to get to Johannesburg, South Africa from Brazil was very expensive. The cheapest flight that we could find was $1, 689 each and for five of us that came out to be a total of $ 8,445.

We first went to the airport in Iguassu Falls, Brazil and go on our plane and had to make one stop that took us to Guarulhos Intl. Airport that is in Brazil. This flight took about two hours. We have a long layover in this airport almost six hours. We all decided to get some food and also sleep because there was not much to do other than wait for the next flight. Britney and Mirjam looked ahead at all the cool activities we were planning on doing in Johannesburg because they were really excited to be going there. After a long layover we finally got on our plane that took us to the Johannesburg Intl. Airport. This was a very long flight it was close to nine hours. The place ride was a little bumpy buy overall pretty good. The food they served us on the plane was not very good, but Cooper really like the lunch that was provided. It was some sort of sandwich that did not have much taste to it. After we finally got to Johannesburg we then rented a car from Budget that sent someone to pick us up and take us to our car that we were renting. We had to rent a car that could hold five people and all our stuff. It was some kind of Audi station wagon that cost us $400 a day so for five days it cost us a total of $2,000. The total we sent on transportation for this leg of our trip was $10,445.
