We woke up late (around 9am). I went to the reception desk to get a hiking map of the area, and asked about the weather. From what he said, it would be fine at least today and tomorrow. I asked about the bridge over the Krossa river (which we would cross tomorrow). He said that there were 3 bridges: 1 which he'd broken, another which was probably washed out, and the third which should be fine and was close to the Básar hut. He said to just follow the blue/yellow markers across the valley. He didn't say exactly how he had broken the bridge.

Jean and I went on a short day hike to the Merkurrani Plateau around 11:30am.

After the hike I again checked the weather forecast. It looked decent, but in retrospect I should have contacted the safetravel.is site for a more detailed localized forecast.
