Three Cities, One Destination.

It's amazing how you can wake up in the morning in Durban, wash your face, have breakfast and be on a plane at 08h40 to Johannesburg and end up in your hotel room by about 10am.

In case of an emergency, which exit should I use? Left or right, left or right, left or right...

A bumpy flight on the way up to JHB on Friday morning with quite a few 'weightless' moments in the approach to ORT. The guy in the seat next to me was gripping his armrests extra tight, just in case the emergency exit door blew open and tried to suck him out.

The hotel check in at Barbara road City Lodge was no mess, no fuss and I was impressed that they allowed such an early check in. Not all rooms are created equal.

Neither are all stadiums. Call time at the Willomore Park stadium in Benoni was 13h00. Back at the hotel by 23h00 so all good in the hood.

Saturday morning, us jetsetters flew on down to Cape Town on the 09h00. We checked into the City Lodge at the Grand West Casino with call time at Newlands for the Stormers vs Hurricanes game, 13h00.

I was nervous as hell working on this game as it was my first rugby game of the season. Twenty minutes into our half hour build up, the entire ob van tripped. Off air we go. It's amazing that in a multi-million rand van it's still a basic thing like power that can rule the roost. Thankfully this was the only hiccup of the day. The de-rig was fairly painless and we were back at the hotel by 22h30.

We stayed on in Cape Town to cover the T20 game between the Dolphins and the Cobras in Paarl on Sunday. Go the Dolphins!

With near 40 degree, temperatures being a cameraman is dangerous work!

Cameraman Alex Grist has the evidence to prove it and to those of you who think skin cancer is a myth check out the before and after pictures posted. Bear in mind this is the second dig at getting cancer out of his system. The first go was on his face and shoulder. We wish you luck big fella.

So three cities later I have only one final destination, home.
