Early in the morning we cycled to Osterath train station to catch the train to Cologne main station.
We reached Cologne main station on time around 8 am.
Our train EC 7 to Basel was scheduled for 8:53 am. But unfortunately there was a break of the catenary near Düsseldorf which lead to major issues for Deutsche Bahn.

We ended up to start some 2 1/2 hours late with EC 9 direction Zurich. Since the suisse rail didn't want that late train in there system the train only wen to Basel Bad. There we took an S-Bahn to Basel SBB then a train to Lugano and from there the S-Bahn to Chiasso. There we took or bikes to our final destination of the day Como.
