... of the compartment. The compartment already contains two other male passengers who will share the accommodation with the four of us for the rest of the night. Rocio, who purchased her ticket later, is two carriages down from us. The gentlemen have snagged an upper and lower bunk, leaving one upper, one lower and two middle bunks for us.
