The highlight of the Lisbon European Petrochemical Luncheon (EPL) was the spectacular party thrown by Peninsula and Lakeview at a ruined monastery on Friday evening.
With lots of wives and partners over for the weekend, there were more than 100 guests dining under the stars, quaffing wines from the Douro, listening to fado singers and dancing till 4.00 am.
Aside from the party and some rather good lunches down by the harbour, not to mention a very good venue in the Tiara Park Atlantic Hotel - a significant improvement on the usual Brussels location - EPL-goers agreed that the mood of the event had been rather sombre and dominated by fears of further crude hikes.
