I can only help with a little of query but would say yes it is definitley worth going from Montenegro to Sarajevo. You could drive from Split via Dubrovnik & on to Montenegro & then back via Sarajevo & maybe Mostar. This is a similar trip that what we did recently with no problem at all. .

You may want to look at our web site with lots of photos, links & info on our route.

Good Luck. I am sure you will have a wonderful time

1. is it posiible to rent a boat (with a captain) to take us around the cost for a day trip,love to see kornati islands, and if yes - where from

You must drive to Zadar. I once rented a self steered boat in Zadar and I am sure you can rent one with a captain. The Kornati are an absolute must. Look at my page. http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/6ce90/5e751/

2. is it far to drive to sarajevo?

You have the answer on the previous post.

3. as i love taking photos of landscapes, what area would u recommend to go?

There is so much to stare at that it is not possible to answer. Go everywhere! Drive and enjoy! You should drive from Herceg Novi to Rijeka (and Pula). You will get superb landscapes all the way. It is really worth it.

4. and whats the weather there now

Definitely warmer and dryer than in London but weather is weather. It is most likely to be warm/hot and sunny but you cannot avoid to get a thunderstorm and a lot of rain. If that happened, that would not last, anyway.

5. are there any domestic flights to pula - love to see pula's amfiteatar

If you drive to Zadar, why would you not drive to Pula? I feel that would be a waste fly and not to drive, given the landscapes that you would miss.

6. is there any tourist office in the town
There are Tourist offices in every town.
